About
Fate of the World is a dramatic global strategy game that puts all our futures in your hands. The game features a dramatic set of scenarios based on the latest science covering the next two centuries. You must manage a balancing act of protecting the Earth’s resources and climate versus the needs of an ever-growing world population, who are demanding ever more food, power, and living space. Will you help the whole planet or will you be an agent of destruction?
Fate of the World is brought to you by the award-winning Red Redemption games team and Battlestations: Midway Producer Klaude Thomas with climate science by Dr. Myles Allen (University of Oxford), writing by David Bishop (Dr. Who, 2000AD) and music composed by Richard Jacques (Mass Effect, Alice in Wonderland) with game design by veteran game designer Matthew Miles Griffiths (Conflict: Desert Storm, Battlestations: Midway).
Fate of the World has been nominated for the 2011 Index: Design Awards and as a Top 10 Social Impact Games of 2010-11 by Games for Change

Bock-heavy Climate Simulation. Appacts superficially Like a Deck of cards, but the Consequences of each Action are enormously complex. Urs Thinking and Bagging ...
The Level of difficulty is sometimes just frustrating, but for a "Serious Game" it's amazingly addictive.

Those who like the Genre and prefer Complexity and Planning rather than action-packed Graphic Explosions are certainly the right place here. Especially considering the faian Price. Sometimes, however, one-two Explanations would be more helpful. Overall, but as a Lover of the Genre, clear Buy recommendation!

A seemingly pushed game, but whose mechanics seem to have been rather created by Western capitalistic dogs short of paradigmisque imagination.
In other words, not really way to change thinking (only one model is validated, capitalism and progress seems to be to live like a Westerner) nor to be a true ecolo in this game.
On the other hand, we're all going to die, but I don't know if the game did it on purpose.
Oh yes and it is only in English.

Fate of the World Looks simple At first with its turn-based card game mechanics, but behind the bendy façade Hides a Strategy game with a very high Degree of Difficulty and a remarkable number of tactical Options. But what can be expected when it comes to leading the World through the Crises of climate Change and increasing Resource Scarcity? The Game creates the clever Balancing Act to generate Both fun and open up one's own Awareness of the Seriousness and Complexity of the topics covered. In spite of his playful Problems (for example, the Becoming struck by complex Statistics), I consider it one of the most important Games of recent Years.
Fate of the World should buy anyone interested in the political Implications of climate Change and/or a challenging Round strategy game with an unusual Scenario looking and/or gladly watching what Effects the playing Around at the Pitter Screws of a complex System.
